I still see the same types of fish, but it's high tide right now, so the tide pools have a lot more water in them and there are more fish. Because it's high tide the fish don't swim around the tide pools that much because of the waves crashing in and out of the tide pools. The fish tend to eat the seaweed when the waves retreat and dart into a hole when the come back. Also I took a closer look at the limpets this time, I thought it was weird that they were all clinging to the what looked like the sand. Usually they cling to the rocks of the tide pools. I found out that it was actually a thin layer of sand on a rock and they were all clinging to that. The reason why they probably cling to the rock underneath the sand is because the rocks at the tide pools are pretty jagged and sharp and there really isn't any flat surfaces to cling to. However, the biggest thing I noticed is that if there is more seaweed in a tide pool there is less fish because I don't think they like having TOO much seaweed, but if less or half of the tide pool has seaweed then there are more fish.

If there is too much algae in a tide pool, then there will be less fish.
